Thank you! Will it cost anything?

But how to correct the name order on the SS card? Not sure why they got the name order correct on the Green Card and Work Permit but not the SS card and Marriage Certificate. Makes no sense to me.

When my wife came to the US via K1-Visa, we got married and got her a social security card. She is from Vietnam, so the name was copied in the same order that was shown on her passport which is (Middle, First, Last). However when she received her work permit card and green card, her name shows the correct order (First, Middle, Last). Will this change or affect anything in the future and we are wondering if we should get it the order of her name to show correctly for her SS card and Marriage Ceritifcate. Is it worth the trouble to even get it corrected. We don't want to waste our time getting it fixed if it's not going to be a problem in the long run.

Okay so we came back from our interview and it lasted about 15-30 minutes. Our IO mostly spoke and asked my wife questions. I heard her looking on her computer and saying that everything looks good, but she did mention something about my wife's medical records saying it expired or something. She asked if we had anything to show, and we provided her with credit card statements, and photos. We brought more than we had to and she said she didn't need to see anything else. Hoping that it's a good sign that she trusts our marriage is real. But the only thing we're worried about ist he medical records. Towards the end she had my wife sign something on a tablet regarding the I-485, and the interview was over. I asked her when can we expect our results. She said 3-4 weeks/days (not sure which one). And she said that the card would be sent to our mail. I'm both excited and nervous as we don't know if she passed or not. Are there any signs we should be aware of if the IO thinks our case is fake? I was hoping that she could've provided with our results at the end of the interview. In case if for some reasno we're denied, I was hoping she could've tell us what we did wrong or what we're missing. How come some people are approved right away after the interview? I'm guessing if we didn't get an approval right after then there must be red flags in our process.

How long did your interview last, and how long before you had your results? Did they ask to see any documents? If so, what did you provide them with. I'm hearing stories from some others that they didn't even ask to see any documents and the interview process lasted about 5 minutes. Of course, we are bringing whatever evidence we have and documents that was in the checklist in our appointment letter. I hope that will be enough.

My wife who came here on a K1-Visa, and I are attending our interview soon and would like too know what sort of questions can we expect them to ask us. I'm really nervous and pray that we won't run into any difficulties that may delay her getting her greencard.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, so where does it say if required on that?

Are you talking about the I-797C Notice of Action? That's the only piece of paper we've received, and on it it tells us our interview address and our appointment time and date and there's a section that says "You must bring the following items with you:" I don't see anywhere on it where it says "If required". Unless I'm looking at the wrong document.

Is this really needed? We don't recall having a copy of our completed AoS packet (I-485, I-767, I-131). Why would they need it again when we already mailed all this stuff to them? What if you never made a copy of it or can't find it? And as far as medical records, somebody mentioned as a K1 visa holder, that it's already sent to DHS in a sealed folder upon her arrival to the US, so does she still have to get her medical exam again in the US. I don't think she has an I-693 application.

Thanks, I'm very bad when it comes to finances, math and numbers. So my apologies. So I guess like you said it's not important, since our interview is next month. I really have nothing to show in terms of taxes for year 2023. Hopefully they can understand that and won't give us a hard time. So it's okay on my W4 to select filing as Single/MFS and when it comes time to do my income taxes choose MFJ on my 1040? Don't the status have to match on both?

Thanks, so what do you guys recommend I do about this regarding tax transcripts and bank accounts. Our interview is coming up next month.

In Step 1 section C. This is where I chose Married filing seperately/Single. So how does one receive a joint's tax transcript or 1040 then in order to bring to our interview. I hope we're not doomed that I just have now discovered this mistake that I've made.

I read online that MFS would make things less complicated. But is it too late to switch my W4's filing status? Would it complicate thiings when income tax season comes up? I had no idea that I'd be paying more in taxes going the MFS route.

Sorry, you're right. I meant W4.

I just recently started working again this year, and when I filled out my w2, I think I chose Married Filing Seperately, since people recommended I chose that since my wife isn't currently working.

I see, but the thing is my wife hasn't worked yet since she's been here. We have been waiting for her work permit and other things. She isn't ready for work yet, she still has to take english classes because her english isn't good enough for work. So how are we suppose to bring a joint tax transcript to the interview?

Joint tax transcripts? I never said that. I was talking about a joint's banking account between my wife and I.

From the time we mailed our AoS packet to the interview is probably around 7-8 months. When my wife came here we got married a month after and then a month after that we filled out the AoS forms and submitted them in with all the necessary tax transcripts. I am the co sponsor, my mother is the main sponsor. So I had to fill out 2 I-864 forms and submit both mines and my mother's tax transcripts. So are you saying I have to get new ones? 2023 tax transcripts aren't available yet since the year isn't over. Also my wife's I-94 has expired. What is the process to update it? And when you went to the interview, did they look at all the stuff you brought?

That's it? So anything like photos from family get togethers, joint banking account, etc? We just recently setup a joints bank account at Bank of America, but how do we prove to the interviewer that both our names are on it? I've checked both online and on the app.

Besides from the usual id, passport, etc. What do people usually bring? I'm very happy and nervous at the same time and don't want to mess anything up. We don't want to bring any more than what's needed. Cause I heard from most people that they don't even require much. But I noticed on the letter that we received that it says to bring tax transcripts, etc. Don't they already have this on file when we submitted all this stuff when we filed our AOS Packet (I-485, I-767, I-131)? I already included all those already. Why are they asking for it again?

Well that makes us feel a lot better. Thanks a lot.

Bad news, we actually received a letter telling us that we have an interview scheduled. Very nervous. Does she need to bring her medical and vaccine records if she already had them done before coming to the US? What kind of questions do they normally ask and will we be taken in separate rooms when being interviewed?

Sorry forgot to include this picture as well. This status showed up 1st, and then the status changed showing that we completed the interview. So we're confused.

Yes, she did go to her biometrics appointment and completed it already. I really hope this is will be good news.
